Worth a look Unusual reporting

Net worth fell from $1,100,000 (2024) to $500,000 (2025) — 2.2×

This 2025 filing reports $500,000; the same person's 2024 filing reported $1,100,000, a change of $600,000 in 1 year. Inheritances, home values and markets can move net worth a lot, so compare what's listed in each year to see where the change shows up.

What to check
  • Compare the assets listed in each filing: which items are new or much larger?
  • Does listed income explain the change?

Context 4

Context Unusual reporting

Lists Guns, jewelry, household items separately from the $50,000 household-goods total

Personal vehicles, jewelry, art and furnishings can be reported in the household-goods lump sum or itemized. Net worth doesn't appear to count them twice.

What to check
  • No action needed unless the lump sum also includes these items.

Rule: Household items listed twice
“Describe, and state the value of, each asset you had on the reporting date you selected for your net worth, if the asset was worth more than $1,000 and if you have not already included that asset in the aggregate value of your household goods and personal effects.”2025 Form 6 instructions, Assets ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $500,000; listed items add up to $1,241,000

Reported net worth: $500,000. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $1,241,000. A difference is normal: net worth also counts assets and debts that aren't listed individually (items under $1,000, credit cards, taxes), and the instructions say subtracting listed liabilities from listed assets won't give an accurate figure in most cases.

What to check
  • No action needed unless other items look off.

Rule: Net worth vs. listed items
“Simply subtracting your liabilities from your assets will not result in an accurate net worth figure in most cases.”2025 Form 6 instructions, Net Worth ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Income & business ties

70% of listed income ($220,000) comes from Walton County Sheriff's Office

Listed income totals $316,000 from 2 sources. The largest is classed as government & public payroll.

What to check
  • Who is this source, and does it have business before the office sought?
  • If the filer owns it, check the business section and secondary income.

Rule: Where the money comes from
“List the name of each source of income that provided you with more than $1,000 of income during”2025 Form 6 instructions, Income ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Wealth & holdings

Real estate worth $1,900,000 across 2 properties (380% of net worth)

Real estate holdings, as listed.

What to check
  • Look the parcels up with the county property appraiser: land use (vacant or improved), assessed value and when they were bought.
  • Check whether any listed liability is a mortgage on these properties.

Rule: Real estate holdings
“Real property: Identify by providing the street address of the property.”2025 Form 6 instructions, Assets ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works
